Big Shoes.

There is no greater curiosity il human
form in Indiana than Riley Smith, who
for years has wandered about Blooming
ton, most of the time dependent upon the
township for a livelihood. He is re-
markable as being the tallest man, the
smallest about the waist, and having the
largest feet of any person in the whole
county. He is six feet seven and one
half inches in height, measures twelve
inches about the waist, and wears No.
II shoe that by actual measurement holds
one and one-fourth pecks of corn. He
weighs 145 pounds. No shoe is made by
the trade large enough by four numbers,
and when pair is demanded Smiths
order is sent to Louisville (Ky.) firm,
where the shoes are made according to
o measurement kept by them. Once
each year a pair of p!ow-shoes are
ordered. They weigh almost ten pounds,
are made of heavy leather, and have
broad heels. The shoes are 16 inches
long, the heel measure is 49, inches, the
instcp 1Ot inches, and the ball 10 inches.

Care Of Canaries.

II is easy to keep the canary in good
health, easier, in fact, than to cure hlm
after he becomes sick. There would be
but few sick birds if they were properly
taken care of. Many are neglected, and
many are treated with mistaken kind
ness. Their food should be good, and
thew should have all they want to eat.
The best seeds for them are German
rape or millet, canary seed, and hemp,
the latter in limited quantity. We would
not give more than dozen hemp seeds
daily' Some advise not to use it at all,
but we think it beneficial to bird when
used in small quantities.
Cleanliness is all important: BE sure
of this. The cage should be cleaned
dailv. and fresh seed given each time,
with clean sand or gravel. Fresh water
should be given for drinking in cups
which are arranged in such manner
that the bird cannot foul them. That for
bathing should be in shallow dish like
q sayccr. and as soon as the bird has
bathed the dish should be removed. A
great many persons place such vessel
Of water in the cage and oblige the bird
to use it to bathe in and drink from.
This should never be done. The bird
wants Just as pure, clean water to drink
ne any person does, and he will not keep
in health if obliged to drink impure
water. A piece of cuttle-fsh bone should
be kept in his cage, and raw apple,
cabbage leaf, and plantain in its season
should be provided. Aim to give one or
the other of these things every day the
wear round. Occasionally, give piece
of bread soaked in milk, but never cake
or candy. Once a week, give boiled egg
mixed with cracker. Never hang any
birds in draft, or the wind, and never
set them out of their cages. In moult-
ing time, give dusting OF cayenne pep,
per to their egg and cracker, or bread
and milk. k.-Ameriran Aoriculturist

A Story Of Bishop Simpson.

An incident showing his gifts is re-
lated by his uncle. Late one Saturday
night he arrived at town in the noun
tainous regions of Pennsylvania, where he
was total stranger. The next morning
he made his way to the Methodist
Church and accosted the pastor, telling
him he was brother in the ministry.
Simpson being extremely awkward and
plain in appearance, the pastor was half
inclined to omit the courtesy due a
brother preacher, of asking him to de-
liver sermon. If he inquired of the
Bishop as to his name he must have failed
to catch it, for he certainly had no idea
to whom he was speaking. His request
for the stranger to preach was expressed
in the most formal and constrained man.
ner The stranger readily agreed to fill
the pulpit, and the pastors chagrin was
evident, as he resigned himself to his
fate. The Bishop preached one of his
powerful sermons, and everybody in the
audience whispered to his neighbor:
''Wh, is he2" Before he had taken his
leat the pastor had him by the hand
"What did you say your name wasp
"Simpson." "What! Not the Bishop9''
"That is what they call me-" The min
lister instantly sprang to his feet and
shouted: "You have just had the
privilege of listening to Bishop Simpson.
Let US sing Praise God from whom all
blessings flow. '"-American Magazine.

Paddock Bracelets,

Chain bracelets are the late2t "fad"
among fashionable girls. According to
q New York authority, those with pad
locks attached were the greatest charm.
The lover places the chain about the
wrist whose pulses beat for him, locks
the dainty symbol of bondage, and wears
the key on his watch chain. Ladies who
wear their bonds lightly find it easy to
tions far up the arm and hide it beneath
the sleeve when they wish to please
others than their Romeos. The big con-
spicuous diamond ring is not so easily
hidden. Some of the chain bracelets are
of beaten gold and others of nugget gold.
Some are made as simple chain, while
in others the links are beautifully en-
graved. Some have diamonds and other
precious stones set in the links. A very
novel bracelet made recently was an
acrostic ornament, if one may use that
term. 1t was chain with paddock,
but the middle seven links were nuggets
with precious stones in each one. The
first letter of the stones read: I'D. E. A. R.
E. s. t." and the stones were placed in
the order: Diamond, Emerald, Anne
thyst, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz
This bracelet cost the triAe of $3.50.

An Arabs Cou rtship.

The Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love; but he is also nightly ex-
citable and easily won. An Arab sees a
girl bearing water or brushwood; and in
a moment, almost at glance, is as
madly in love as if he had passed years
of courtship. He thinks of nothing else,
cares and dreams of nothing else but the
girl he loves; and not infrequently, If
be is disappointed in his affections, he
pines and dies. In order to commence
his suit he sends for o member Of the
girls tribe who has access to the harem
and, first insuring his secrecy by SOL
emn oeth, confesses his love and entreats
his conidant to arrange an interview.
The confdant goes to the girl, gives her
a flower or blade of grass, and says:
"Swear by Him who made this flower
and US also, that you will not reveal to
anyone that which I am about to unfold
to you" If the girl will not accept the
proposal she will not take the oath, but
nevertheless keeps the matter perfectly
secret from all. If she is favorably dis
posed to the match, she answers: II
swear by Him who made the flower you
hold, and u.s." and the place and time OF
meeting are settled. These oaths are
never broken, and it is not long before
the ardent lover becomes the happy hus-
band.

What One Woman, Did.

Several years ago Miss Beilby, young
English woman, who had studied medicine to
fit herself for usefulness as, q missionary at
Lucknow, in India, was sent for by the wife
of the native Prince of Puma, who was i'll.
Puma was long distance from Lucknow,
and the journey was dangerous one; if Miss
Beilby went she would be- separated by more
than hundred miles from any white man.
Her friends urged her to. refuse. The Eng
hshwoman was young and timid, but she
knew her duty; she went, remained two
months, and cured her patient When she
was about to return the Rance sent for her
and begged her to go IN person to Queen
Victoria with the message that Indian wo.
men, not being allowed the attendance OF
male physicians, died in great number every
year for want Of care. The Rance brought
paper, pen and ink, and, with tears, besought
Miss Beilby to write her petition to the
Queen to send them women doctors.
"Write it small, Saheba," she begged, "for
I shall put it in locket and hang it about
your neck and You must wear it until you
put it in the hands Of the great Rance her.

Miss Beilby returned to England the next
year, obtained an interview with Queen Vic

the message. The Queen was deeply touched
and empowered Lady Dufferin, the wife of the

A Wide Field open.

There Is vast field open for intelligent,
saeacious work in convincing majority OF
the people of this country that prohibition
is the best plan which can be employed
against the evils Of rum and the rum traffic.
These evils are clearly seen by very many
who are not, however, thereby conynced OF
the necessity or wisdom Of prohibition.
There is a very large class who admit these
evils but who believe that the drinker him.
self is the one to blame They hold that q
man should be strong enough to resist the
Temptation to drunkenness and dissipation.
Then there is another large class which is In
favor of restrictive measures OF various
kinds-ta1ation, high license, and possibly
other legal restraints We are AFRAID that
at the present time, if the question was pre-
sented to them, would vote for some such
measure. But these positions are not finali-
ties. Taxation and high license are but
mile-stones on the road to prohlbltlon.
The inadeouacy of these methods to
effect any real abatement Of the curse will be
demonstrated-is already demonstrated-n
those States or communities where they have
had a thorough trial The masses will be led,
sten bv step. to the inevitable conclusion that
prohibition is the only final solution OF the
problem. The march Of public opinion will
not stop short Of that point There IS no
danger of q prolonged halt. The attitude OK
the rum power itself will force prohibition.
It is constantly the aggressor, and constantly
losing ground. It IS impatient Of all re-
striction. @ It fights to the bitter end against
any legislative regulation, and constantly
works to influence the law-making power In
its own selfish interests. No sooner Is a re-
strictive law enacted than the rum Power
unscrupulously violates it. The rumseIers
are are not only dissatisfied with license laws,
which protect their nefarious traffic, but
evade and defy them. Such opposition not
onIv to these laws, but the bold defiance OF
the Sunday law, and other statutes generally
observed by all other men, can have but one
etfect-to band all decent citizens against
them.-Ioledo Blade.

Reason and THfth.

Reason and Faith are twin-bogn-the one
IN form and features the image of manly
beauty; the other of feminine grace and
gentleness; but to each Of them is allotted
sad privation. The bright eyes Of Reason
are full of piercing intelligence, but his ear
Is closed to sound. Faith has, an ear Of ex-
quisite delicacy; but on her sightless eye
balls, as she lifts them: toward heaven, the
sunbeam plays in vain. Handiin hand the
brother and sister, in all mutual love, pursue
their way through world on which, like
ours, day breaks and night falls alternate:
By day the eyes of Reason are the guide of
Baith, and by night the ear Of Faith is the
guide of Reason. As, is usual with those
who labor under these priyations respective
lyr Reason is apt to be eager impetDous, i'm
patient Of that instruction which his infrm-
ity will not permit him readily to appre-
hend; while Faith, gentle and doeile, is ever
willing to listen to the voice By which alone
truth and wisdom effectually can reach her.

"Madame." "

"Can, You tell me-" said lady friend
to me, 'why it is that American dress
makers with the eommonest and most
peculiar of English patronymics, will
persist in prefxing Madame to their
names2 think it is strange, don't
you2 Gwonder if they suppose that by
adopting French prefix to their names
they ensnare people into the belief that
they are: from the land of the Gaul2"
I said that I had remarked the same
thing, but that the practice was not con-
fined to- this country, as I had observed
the same thing in all the large cities and
even small towns of the world, but that
I supposed that it was on the same prin-
ciple that the English and American
opera singers and danseuses invariably
Italianized their names, and that it was
largely due to the snobbery of the public
refusing to believe that exceptional ar
fists could be produced outside of Italy
or France. People would decline TO- 60
and hear plain Miss SnNh or Jones sing,
but let her call herself Signora Tomasi
and they will cheerfully deposit their
shekeIs and even pay premiums for front
seats. After all it is but human nature.

Fashion Notes.

The tournure is narrower, but not
otherwise sma ller.
New basques are noticeable for their
elaborate front trimmings.
Velvets are always most effective ma6e
up with little or no draping.
Long velvet redingotes, with satin
skirts, are in vogue this fall.
Dark tan is shade that is predicted
likely to be extremely fashionable.
Separate low bodices of velvet OF
watered silk are very fashionable.
Numbered with rough surface cloths
are serges in large blanket stripes.
Jet and white surah or crepe form q
combination adapted to many garments.
Sailor collars retain their popularity,
and are worn quite as much as formerly.
Some of the most elegant costumes
unite three and sometimes four textures
or colors.
Loose sleeves of figured lace have close
fitting Innings of plain Brussels net or
bobbinet.
Matinees are made with long, loose
jacket, and skirt of walking or deml-
train length.
Pinking retains its good effects very
we'll in firm, hard-fnished clothes, but
Is not adapted to thin goods.
Braid is stylish decoration for many
costumes, and it is most generally dis
posed in parallel lines or SCROLLS.
Branding IN fancy patterns IS much
liked on the back and sleeve pieces, and
also the tabs of handsome wraps.
Braids, passementeries, ribbons, cords
and fat trimmings generally may be
added to costumes of wool or silk
Gainsborough hats are to Questionable

Upon costumes tinsel, wool and silk
braids are correctly employed, and velvet

modish-
Checks that are almost invisible and
fancy weavings that are not too pro-
nounced will be combined with velvet in
costumes.
White cloth embroidered with gold,
silver, bronze or copper braid will often
be used for the vest, collar and cuffs OF
dressy costumes.
Novelty plaid or striped fabrics often
form the fan and skirt when plain;
checked or striped goods are used for
the rest of the costume.
For little girls long top coats are
fashionable, and they are. seen with and
without capes, with shawl collars and
with little rolling collars to suit each
taste.
Gray fosses, intermingled with gold
braids, are prettily applied to white cloth
or gros-grain silk vests, panels, collars,
pocket laps and cuffs and the effect is
pleasing.
Fur will trim many superb toilets this
winter, and furriers incline to the belief
that'fur trimmed garments of all kinds
will attain popularity rarely before &C.
corded them.
Among the superb toilets to be seen
the coming winter none will attract
more attention than those with plain
black velvet bodices made up with court
trains over contrasting petticoats OF
white moire brocade and other handsome
evening fabrics.
In costumes for little girls those for
best wear often have the vest of lace,
gauze of crepe and the drapery of sash
